WORTH IT$15,000
Alright, I am at 5 months now and I am still very happy with my new body. I have to say, for doing my breasts as an after thought(more worried about getting rid of that stomach) I am super happy with my new, perky breasts. Hubby is also very happy with them. I am very, very glad I decided to do them also. Although, I still have some tenderness with my nipples sometimes still. I went to see my doc in September and he said all looked great and now I don't have to go into see him anymore.
As for my weight, I am still a little heavier then what I started out as but with all the workouts I have been doing I am in better shape then before I had my son six years ago. I love my new body and am doing my best to keep it looking hot. Even if I cheated and ate some halloween candy. :)

Just needed to add this funny story from about a day PO. I think this happend the day after surgery? I had been alseep and woke up at like 10am and when I saw the clock I freaked out because I thought I had missed my surgery(8am the day before) and was freaking out saying I had missed my surgery and what was I going to do and my mom was like, what are you talking about. Then the discomfort etc. kicked in and I realized that I had already had the surgery and could relax. So I preceded to roll myself out of bed to go to the rest room.

Thanks. Yes, I am really happy with the results so far. Now I just wish the swelling would hurry up and go away!

Thanks. I don't think I will post four week pictures as I can't see any difference in the amount of swelling. It (the swelling) is just not going away. It is of course much worse at the end of the day. I took my binder thing off for several hours yesterday and was really swollen by bed time. I am just wearing a wrap today around my stomach. We will see how that goes. As I did lipo I am not sure if I should be going without my compression wrap but we are at another lake this next five days and don't want to be uncomfortable.

I have to rip that velcro open first thing in the morning to get a good breath. But having it off for too long (like and hour) and I can feel the swelling pushing from the inside against my muscle repair. You look great and I'm glad you are feeling well enough to go to the lakes.

Well we got back from camping yesterday and it went pretty well. 2 weeks PO is maybe a little early to go camping unless you can really make yourself do nothing. I over did it the day before we left and almost couldn't sleep that night from discomfort. Ended up taking one of the prescription pain meds to help. I felt a little guilty but really tried to stay in my lawn chair and relax.
I got the drains out last wedensday and what a relief. I started walking better and just could move around much better. Doc looked me over and said I looked great. (I think they have to say that.) He did tell me I could wear whatever I felt was comfortable so I have been wearing my compression stuff at night and just the ace wrap that was on my boobs po around my stomach. So much cooler while we were camping.
Feeling better but still get tired and sore fairly easily. I am updating with some 3weeks post pictures. I seem to have more swelling now then a week ago but that just could be from doing too much this last week? I have been sleeping better now that I don't have to sleep on my back!

As for the pain...I just don't think there is any way around being uncomfortable. I did have some issues with my first pain meds and broke out in a rash so they changed them then all was well. I strongly recommend you take those pills like clock work and don't skimp. Meaning take the full dose everytime for most of the 4 weeks. At least that is what I did and I was only questioning my sanity in decideing to do the surgery that first week or two. The BA and lipo were a breeze for me it was the TT that made me the most uncomfortable. Keep in mind I stayed in the Atlantis for the first 5 days so was not in the comfort of my own home, but I slept most of the time so really it was not a huge issue for me. I hope this helped you, and feel free to ask me anything. You are almost there! Soon you will have that hot body you have wanted for years and years. :)
